Minnesota and North Dakota have high levels of radon

Here is a map of Radon zones from the EPA. Most of the southern half of Minnesota is in Zone 1. The entire state of North Dakota is also in Zone 1. Zone 1 counties have a predicted average indoor radon screening level greater than 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) (red zones). The northern half of Minnesota is in Zone 2. Zone 2 counties have a predicted average indoor radon screening level between 2 and 4 pCi/L (orange zones).

What to do next

The EPA recommends if you have a result of 4 pCi/L or higher a follow up test to confirm whether mitigation is recommended. If levels are 10 pCi/L or higher a second short term test should be administered by a professional as soon as possible. If you are in an area close to Minneapolis or Bismarck, Contact us about either testing or mitigation or both if you fear you have high levels of radon.
